Diktofon does not offer a user interface for letting the user decide on the location of stored audio, transcriptions, tags, etc. The directory /Android/data/kaljurand_at_gmail_dot_com.diktofon/files/ is hard coded in:

https://github.com/Kaljurand/Diktofon/blob/f2bfaff75b10567d82de090e1abd3ca63907146e/app/src/kaljurand_at_gmail_dot_com/diktofon/Dirs.java

Storing the files under /Android/data/ is considered to be best practice.

Can you elaborate on what is your reason for placing the files elsewhere?

I ran out of space.

I'm not sure how changing the folder would solve the "out of space" problem.

Also, I would be worried that there may not be enough space on my phone for a very long recording.

Yes, the amount of remaining space is currently not shown during the recording. The only solution at the moment is to use another Android recorder (and use Diktofon only for the playback, transcription, etc. of the recorded audio).
